Strzelecki Track

The Strzelecki Track is an outback track in South Australia, mostly unsealed but with a few short sealed sections to facilitate overtaking, linking Innamincka to Lyndhurst.[2] It passes through the Strzelecki Desert. The 475-kilometre (295-mile) track was pioneered by bushman Harry Redford in 1871 and is passable to conventional vehicles during the dry season, although caution is required.[3] A shorter route is available via a public access road between Moomba and Innamincka, making the distance 458 kilometres (285 miles).[4]

Heritage listings

A number of isolated heritage-listed sites are located nearby to the Strzelecki Track:

gollark: You should probably not be hardcoding sizes.
gollark: Not just "it's like WINDOWS, but for ComputerCraft, and actually not really like Windows as much as just a start menu, desktop and one GUI program".
gollark: They're typically significantly more interesting and creative.
gollark: Copy-pasting this from two months ago:Wild theory on new people constantly wanting to make an OS: they think something like "Oh wow, CC is so unlike Windows! And I have never seen any desktop OS but Windows! I must make it more like Windows so it is more familiar. Clearly nobody else has done this, or it would already be the default, because this is obviously better." Not explicitly/exactly that obviously, but think this might be close to what's going on.
gollark: It uses the CraftOS shell, yes, because I don't like GUIs and this was easier.
